about is veterans anit's something he and mitt romney haven't talked about this entire campaign. they accepted their party's nomination without talking about veterans or the war in afghanistan or the troops serving there. and you know, last year, on veterans day, governor romney got a group of veterans together and suggested that we voucherize, that is privatize, the v.a. now, that's not what you heard paul ryan talk about privatizing or voucherizing medicare or like he wanted to do when he was a younger congressman, privatize social security. so it's a consistent theme of voucherization or privitization of government functions. my father has a true idea of these programs, that they are the bedrock of the middle class but the idea you privatize the veterans administration as governor romney proposed just last year is remarkable and that's what i've been traveling the country to talk about. if you believe the math, romney's program would cut $11 billion to the v.a. in year one. that treats veterans from world war ii all the way to the two wars we have been fighting for a decade. t

what mitt romney is talking about is instituting a tax cut plan which would actually force taxes on the middle class to go up. one of the studies mitt romney sights by feldstein says if you raise taxes for folks in the 100,000 to 200,000 tax bracket, it could make a difference. >> there is a change in stated tax policy, that's obama's. four years ago he said he would not allow any tax increase on anyone that earned less than $250,000 a year ever, that was the promise. he has broken it 20 times with a series of tax increases. >> health care and places like that. >> in health care, yeah, and he changed his position. august 8, grand junction, colorado, six times since, he said my plan is i won't raise your income taxes in the next year, if you were earn less than $50,000. he said it is a big signal. he is only promising not to raise income taxes, two, promise is good for 2013. in 2014, the president promised nobody that he won't raise their taxes. there's a reason he is opening that door. >> susan, we all know this election is about the economy, is this tax issue, is that playing large, sm

the fact of the matter is, we do not have the loopholes on the table that mitt romney is talking about. and i tweeted out tonight, could we actually elect a man who has not explained his tax proposal to the american people when we're sitting supposedly on the edge of this cliff when it comes >> i still don't think voters will support something like this, not knowing what's in it. i've been wondering why we haven't heard more of romney was for his $5 trillion tax cut before he was against it. because you look at this plan and it is $5 trillion that all those cuts add up to. you've got to offset them somehow. the only way to offset them with enough noun make any difference at all is to go after the popular duh deductions. i mean, that's where the money is. >> sure. >> it's astonishing to me, that's where a lot of us wish -- the president just said, how do you pay for it? but the other piece of this is in the primaries, he really didn't talk a whole lot about the offsets. he talked about cutting taxes for everybody. that's the etch a sketch thing that he really was doing in a very big way

all of us heard candidate romney talk about a 20% cut in all tax rates, a 20% cut. you know? we're swimming in debt. you know, so he says now, well that's not really a 20% cut but a revenue neutral tax. doesn't make sense and hard to pin down a guy that doesn't have core beliefs. >> david, what a lot of voters do, undecided voters, they say, well, who am i supposed to believe here? >> yeah, no. that's clearly what the debate did and i would suggest this is one of the reasons why you see governor romney improve in terms of polls is got the discussion back on the economy and the central issues of taxes and seeing clearly both sides have a different view in terms of what the governor proposing. watching that play out and ultimately i would suggest this is a good conversation for governor romney to be involved in. >> let me just make the point that, you know, governor romney pays a 14% income tax rate which is less than most working families pay in this country and ought to be the first question to him. if we all believe and i think we should that we need to reform the tax code t
